Well my mechanic says something about the front calipers aren't releasing the brakes all the way. What could this mean? I've been reading about the BMW 320i caliper replacement. If I were to buy the BMW calipers, could I have a local brake shop put them on (we know nothing about this stuff)? Or is it too complicated?
